The Rationing Commission
This is from the Wall Street Journal Link: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703792304574504020025055040.html?mod=djemEditorialPage As usual, the most dangerous parts of ObamaCare aren't receiving the scrutiny they deserve—and one of the least examined is a new commission to tell Congress how to control health spending. Democrats are quietly attempting to impose a "global budget" on Medicare, with radical implications for U.S. medicine.Growing up is harder in your 20's
So lately, I've been faced with a number of issues that would only occur at this stage in life. I'm a quarter of century and my body is changing, my brain is changing and my general approach to life, health and fitness have changed. My parents have also decided after 34 years of marriage to take a break.Taoni Sanchez, another example of selective human rights
The Cold War Ended For Some Michael C. Moynihan But not for Cubans. The Miami Herald reports that Cuban blogger Yaoni Sanchez, one of Time's "heroes and pioneers" of 2008, was beaten and detained by the secret police, though fails to mention that her free health care will cover all injures sustained.Right-wing women rock
I loved this article! :) ~~~~~~ Right-wing women rock Looking at the shoes tells a lot about a female's political persuasion By IAN ROBINSON The recent election of Danielle Smith as leader of the Wildrose Alliance reminded me that among the many things I love about the libertarian/right wing are the women. Could be our slogan: Come for the culture war ...Compression Socks

In the Fashion and Style section of today's New York Times newspaper there is an article that caught my interest called "Gear Test, Compression Socks" (see http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/10/22/fashion/1023-PHYSICAL_index.html). During my last two half marathons I've been plagued with calf strain while running the last few miles of each race. Though I've contributed this problem with not in taking enough salt pre-race day, these socks might help with calf fatigue in future races.
Beginner Yoga Knees...OUCH
I just started a beginner yoga class and I am hooked. My problem is my knees have become bruised after the class...Does anybody know if anybody makes "yoga inspired" knee pads? And are knee pads a good idea at the beginning?Micro - Pig
I really want two of these wee piggies. I will name one bacon and the other sausage. ;) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6267381/Micro-pigs-with-a-hefty-price-tag.html The pets, which grow to be just 14in tall, have become so popular that they are now almost impossible to get hold of in Britain.Joint Problems
My legs, namely my knees, are always getting tensed up and achy when I sit in certain positions for somewhat long periods of time. In addition to that, ever since I fell and banged my knees from running on a tennis court a few years ago (I believe some shards of glass and debris somehow made their way through my skin), my knees and certain areas on my legs are always getting bright pink and blotchy, especially after I take a shower. Any ideas on what might be going on with my body?Advice for my knees, please.
My bad knees and I have been taking yoga for a few months now, once a week. It's a vinyasa class with all levels of skill accommodated. While the rest of my body has felt fantastic, my knees have begun to feel a bit sore, loose and wobbly lately.How to Pleasure Your G-spot
The G-spot: What is it?
The Gräfenberg spot or G-spot was discovered by Ernst Gräfenberg a German gynecologist who first described it as “an erotic zone located on the anterior wall of the vagina along the course of the urethra that would swell during sexual stimulation.” The area the G-spot occupies is called the urethral sponge and it is tissue that surrounds the urethra (the tube we pee out of) that swells with fluid during sexual arousal. It is associated with the prostate gland in men and is made up of a complex system of erectile tissue, secretion glands (the Skene’s gland), the internal pelvic nerve and muscles that engage with one another during the arousal cycle. In most women it is sensitive to pressure and stimulation which can lead to high levels of sexual arousal and powerful orgasms. The existence of a G-spot has been widely accepted and most popular sexology books treat it as fact. In one study of female ejaculation, 84% of the approximately 1300 professional women who responded reported a sensitive area in the vagina, and this was correlated with those who also reported ejaculation.
